Ascent routes
The normal route to the Großer Zellerhut leads from the Hubertushof in Grünau through the Seewirtgraben and over the Zellersattel to the summit in around two and a half hours. The summit can also be climbed in a ridge hike from Mariazell over the Köckensattel and the Vorderen and Mittlerer Zellerhut. This ascent takes four to four and a half hours. From Neuhaus, the Große Zellerhut can be climbed in about three hours on various routes, some of which are difficult and pathless. In winter, the Zellerhüte are a ski touring area with guaranteed snow, some of which offer challenging descents.
